No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelled exactly the same?
3·2 days agoThere’s a bit more context to some of these (UK).
If you say you’re getting something out of the boot then it’s going to be out of the car, but if you’re putting on your boots then you’re probably putting on some sturdy footwear.
When used as slang, a knob is definitely a dick, but it’s also used in door knob (just a lump to pull on, rather than a handle) or can be used as a quantity of butter, i.e. a knob of butter to go on your toast.
Biscuits can include crackers, but generally they aren’t baked goods with raising agents or yeast.
Chips are not french fries. They’re in between French fries and potato wedges, and the best ones are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Some people think they shouldn’t be crispy, but they’re wrong.
We love near-miss incident reports


Maybe much the same as when we last had a general election in the UK.
